Why No Blood Testing????

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tahuya, WA

Since 1996 I have only had my blood timed to see how long it takes to stop bleeding. Should'nt the doctors have done other tests to find out about factors and other things?

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member

When I was diagnosed back in 1987, I had several bleed time tests done. Since then I have been told that they no longer do that type of test. I was not given a reason why.

I'm Wondering Does Hemophilia Cause Us To Have More Intense Pain Than Normal People???? My Pain Has Become Almost Unbearable At Times.

Greenville, OH
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member

Isn’t pain relative to the person that feels it. Since I’ve grown up bleeding I don’t try to compare to a “normal” who hasn’t had regular bleeds. I only compare my pain to myself. So if you are… read more

I Am Wondering About Fatigue With Mild VWs.

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Moorhead, MN

My VW is mild, so I have not always given it the credit it deserves in causing complications in my life. But I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia (non REM narcolepsy) several years ago. I found out a year and a half ago I was misdiagnosed and had iatrogenic hypersomnia caused by an antidepressant.

I always… read more
